In case you didn’t know Indie Wedding DJ Toronto loves indie dance music. What indie fan doesn’t enjoy dancing to LCD Soundsystem or Hot Chip? (by the way, if you consider yourself an indie dance fan and you don’t know these bands, then look them up NOW). When making an indie playlist for a wedding, I always try to err on the side of poppier sounding indie songs. For example, I am a huge fan of Sleigh Bells and Crown On the Ground is an awesome indie dance song, yet I feel like grandma might not appreciate the hard beats as much as me.

Before I go much further, I want to make sure to remind you of my previous post which included some of my favourite indie dance tracks: Indie Music For Your Wedding. Now that the self promotion is over with I’d love to share with you some awesome indie music for dancing:

Feist – My Moon My Man [Boys Noize Remix][*] Feist is about as pop as indie music gets. My Moon, My Man is one of my favourite songs of hers and although the original version works well, the Boys Noize Remix gives the track an amazing dancy beat.

M.I.A. – Paper Planes Some of you may say that M.I.A. isn’t indie. Some of you may say that this is too easy of a choice. Some of you are probably so sick of this song. I still think that this is a great track and I love to hear it while I’m on the dance floor.

Phoenix – 1901 Due to some appearances in different commercials, your great aunt might even recognize this track.

I was just listening to Teen Dream by Beach House and realized that the track ‘Take Care’ is very sweet and it could be an awesome first dance song. It’s perfect for someone who is looking for something that is a little different and not too sappy. Check it out here:

When choosing indie music for your wedding, make sure that all of the songs have a ‘pop’ sound. Here are 10 suggestions for indie songs that can work well at a wedding. (click the titles to hear the songs)
